All radio button icons missing on new install
Thanks Mr.Zak &amp; Duarte
For your input  regarding the GPU as a possible Culprit. PROBLEM SOLVED! I initially tried changing the resolution however that had no affect. I checked for driver upgrades but I already had the newest ver. Other people with similar problems had been advised to turn off the Anti-aliasing  function on the GPU driver. A common setting option on older drivers however the driver for my Intel Chipset has no such feature instead it has options for "performance Level" and the default setting was "Max performance". I decreased it to "Balanced performance" and bada-bim bada-boom Fixed!  Funny thing, my decade-plus old el-cheapo celeron based toshiba tablet runs ver 2.71 just fine. But renders  take a loooooong time. Thanks, jrt
